Art Fair
Festive Photo Fayre
16 Dec 2015 – 20 Dec 2015
Open Eye Gallery
Liverpool, United Kingdom
£20 - £45
Have your photograph taken by John Brewer, The Victorian Photographer. Portrait sessions are informal, fun and interactive!
A picture with your friends and family or an individual portrait, this is a fantastic opportunity to own an image created using techniques discovered by the Victorians.
There will also be a dressing-up box filled with fancy dress clothes, unusual props and Victorian costume for you to accessorise with!
Watch John prepare a photographic plate and load the camera before you sit for your portrait. Once your photograph has been taken you can watch as the images is developed before your eyes!
Because of the nature of the process each image is unique and non reproducible, it is a one of a kind. The process from clear glass to the finished image, sealed with a nineteenth century lavender varnish takes around twenty minutes or less.
A great photographic object, an alternative family portrait and a unique Christmas gift!
